Faming enterprises need automated data acquisition systems for documentation and for specific information retrieval. This can only be guaranteed by powerful information and communication technology (ICT). Therefore an approach was developed based on a Service Oriented Architecture (AgSOA). A process data service was implemented for process data recorded by an automated system during machine operations in plant production. This service encapsulates the processing procedures of process data and provides the results as a web service in a standardised information management system “Precision Farming”. Data and functions of this and other services can be integrated using software of farmers. Thus, a system can specifically be configured to the needs of a single farm.
